Probably not in Portland. In Belfast they have some that have shared kitchens so it's just a bedroom you rent. But like I said. If you are single it'll do until you can get a better job and make more

Of course, lots and lots of people have done just that, "gotten a better Jon where they're making more." Which is precisely why we have these staffing shortages in the service industry. Myself, I really don't care too much because I know how to cook, but it's very obvious that the world has changed drastically in the past three years.

Absolutely it has. It's getting scary.

Problem is the apartment is in Belfast, the JOBS are in Freeport, Portland, Augusta, Rockland, you know, places you need a car to get to FROM Belfast--and that's a whole OTHER issue.
